Don’t miss out on one of the premiere runs in the Blue Water Area. In addition to feeling good after your walk or run, you’ll feel good that funds raised from this event benefit charity care ensuring that all patients receive care, regardless of their financial standing for Visiting Nurse Association and Blue Water Hospice services. “This is our largest annual fundraiser for VNA and Blue Water Hospice, and we rely on the support of our very generous community. Last year, with help through community partners, we were able to provide more than $928,000 in charity care to our patients. We raise funds and have fun at the River Run” says Angela DeLaere, president and CEO of VNA/BWH.
